Make It

HEAT oven to 375°F.

MIX cream cheese, 1 tsp. rosemary and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Starting at neck of chicken, use handle of wooden spoon or fingers to carefully separate skin from meat of the breast, thighs and legs of chicken, being careful to not tear the skin. Spoon cream cheese mixture under skin; use fingers to push and spread some of the mixture out to thighs and legs. Place chicken in shallow pan. Brush with 2 Tbsp. dressing.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Serve with a crisp, mixed green salad tossed with your favorite KRAFT Dressing to round out the meal.

Note

Don't be alarmed if you tear the skin a bit - the chicken will still be deliciously moist.

Note

Baking the chicken and potatoes in separate pans makes it easy to reserve the flavorful juices of the chicken in one pan while the potatoes are baked to crisp and golden brown-perfection in the other pan.

Delicious! The family really liked this recipe. I too served the chicken with green beans slowcooked with bacon & onions. It was a real hit.

LOVED IT! It is very tasty and was simple to do. Just allow enough time to 'stuff' the chicken. I served it with green beans slowcooked with bacon and onions. The entire meal was delish! I will make this again and again!

I don't usually cook whole birds, but this sounded excellent. It is definitely one of the best chicken recipes I've ever made! I think the cream cheese is the key.

Didn't think it was worth all the extra work. Potatoes were good though.

I normally wear gloves when cooking, specially chicken. It was the first time I try to separate the skin of a bird and it was really really easy, the gloves helped? don't know. Don't scream please I used spreadable cream cheese, delicious and easy. I put the potatoes later in the oven, I think less time is enough and it worked perfectly. Thank you :)

I substituted a turkey breast, cooked it in the crockpot w/o potatoes. Will cook it again. Used 1/3 less calories cream cheese. Everyone liked the dish. Thanks to Kraft!

This recipe was wonderful, I made it for our Valentine's Day Dinner and we both loved it - I also added green onion and crused garlic to the cream cheese mixture. Will definitely make this again and will either make a larger chicken or make two so we will have even more leftovers.
